Root Knight
[A knight who reaches for the essence to become stronger]
Background
- In-game Version
- Nexon Version
The knight who resonates with the El and reaches for its essence.
Elsword, finding his power lacking, remembers how he subconsciously resonated with the El to use its power back in Ruben.
He creates the support equipment, 'Sephira', with the magic stones found in Bethma to allow him to resonate with the El better.
Elsword successfully harnesses the power of the El with the help of the support equipment.
With his newfound method to resonate with the El, Elsword resumes his journey while protecting his friends and seeking the stolen El.

Trivia
- The term root in the class's name in this case refers to an origin point, such as would be used in terms such as something being the 'root cause' of something.
- This draws similar primal holy implications as the 'Prophecy of the World's Root' presented in the story.
- According to the Elsword NA website, Sephira is a word which originates from Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism. Sephira is the singular form of Sephiroth, which are the 10 attributes through which God (The Infinite) reveals itself.[1]
- In-game, Sephira will idly hover behind Elsword until you enter Awakening Mode, at which point its wings will grow slightly and it will hover at his back, triggering El's Resonance within him, the same phenomenon originally seen in Elsword's tutorial scenes.
- Strangely, neither Root Knight or Sacred Templar gain the usual blue eyes associated with El's Resonance as seen in Knight Emperor and Genesis. It is possible their assimilation into the Giant El plays a role in this however.
- This is further supported by the fact that Adrestia does not gain blue eyes either, despite also continually drawing on El's Resonance.
